Good, one down many to go. No one has to worry about this guy walking the streets in April any longer. To bad they didn't release the name of the guy who did society a favor, i'd send a donation to his canteen fund.

Authorities say a man convicted of child rape serving his sentence in the Bridgewater Treatment Center has died following an altercation with another inmate.

The Plymouth district attorney's office said in a statement that 47-year-old Joseph Harlow was found unresponsive early Tuesday afternoon following the altercation. He was taken to Morton Hospital in Taunton where he was pronounced dead at about 1:45 p.m.

At the beginning of his 32-year career as a math teacher in Queens, Francisco Olivares allegedly impregnated and married a 16-year-old girl he had met when she was a 13-year-old student at his Corona junior high, IS 61, the Post learned.

He sexually molested two 12-year-old pupils a decade later and another student four years after that, the city Department of Education charged. But none of it kept Olivares, 60, from collecting his $94,154 salary.

He hasnât set foot in a classroom in seven years since beating criminal and disciplinary charges. Chancellor Joel Klein keeps Olivares in a ârubber room,â a district office where teachers accused of misconduct sit all day with nothing to do.

Leave it to conservatives to ignore the possibility that the death of this person may harm the victim. A victim of child abuse, sadly, often blames him/herself, no matter what others may say, and it's very possible that the victim of the rape may be a family member or friend who may now be blamed (unfairly) for this man's death. Children who are abused are often from homes where there is little sympathy for the victim. While his death may have satisfied you, the victim may very well pay a price. I realize most who posted in this thread are conservative, and perhaps that explains why the emphasis is on revenge rather than concern for the victim.

First of all, there are several people from both sides who came to the same conclusion. You are the only one who seems to feel differently. Now, as far as how this will hurt the rape victim??? Your view of the world is so warped I'm not sure there's any hope for you. Seriously. In the reality the rest of us are in the victim is probably sleeping good for the first time tonight since the attack happened knowing that she will never be harmed again by that pervert. Oh, and its not revenge, its justice. You need to learn the difference

Sorry the victim already has paid a harmed, i can't see how that person would pay a price because her attacker was killed in prison. Who ever it is is probably relieved, i know i'm relieved that he won't be able to do it again.

That's not true. A child victim is very likely to blame him or herself. There has been tons of research on this problem. Here's a Wikipedia entry that discusses self-blame:

But, if you do a search on the subject in Google, you'll find a number of articles on this. It's an unfortunate consequence of this terrible kind of abuse. The death of the perpetrator causes revictimization and retraumatization.

The victim would have been notified of his release date, they would suffer the same short term trauma as hearing he has been killed, on the day he would have been released.

In general, depends on the situation. Abused children may feel responsible for breaking up their families, may feel that they provoked or invited the abuse, may feel that their purpose in life to relieve the stress of others, and so on. Some children heal no matter what, others may well heal with the death of the abuser, but many do not. It's a terribly complex issue for the victim, especially if that victim was abused at an age when s/he did not have the ability to reason like an adult. If this was a case where the abuser was a total stranger, the chances are better that the abuser's death served the welfare of the victim, but generally abusers are not strangers.

Then again.... Maybe the victim will finally get a good night sleep knowing
that there is zero chance this monster will ever re-enter their life.

Whatever. This is the first night that the victim can close their eyes and NEVER have to worry about the guy getting out and harming them again EVER.
